My show this week really is about my “youthier” times (thank you for that term S. Marbury, I use it often.)  I got mega nostalgic pulling the songs to play and even more so playing them in order. Technical issues prevented me from playing fully hard core to twee back and forth, but you get the idea. In my view, all these songs are punk and all of them have parts that make them poppy. Genre identity is pretty boring to me. 

Anyway, listen here an I hope you dig it. If you have any questions about any of the songs or bands, let me know!

This is my second stab at an EVR show and — oops! — it’s kind of a downer again. I wanted this one to skew a bit more “cold yet pretty,” so some clean electronic music, stark folk stuff… along those lines. I also would never normally include two songs from one artist, but I’ve been listening to Alexis Taylor (of Hot Chip)’s solo album a lot. It’s called Rubbed Out and it’s a true bummer we don’t have it on eMusic. Then again, it was meant to be super limited and is already sold out (out of print, maybe?). What’cha gonna do.

Ok! On with the show! Download it from our DIY archives here. Apologies for some pops n’ cracks (and low volume!) on the talking bits. Here’s what I played:

Vincent Gallo, “I Wrote This Song for the Girl Paris Hilton”
